Part 1

The Technical Committee has reviewed the provisions of ISO 3877-4 and
ISO 4223-2 to which normative reference is made in the text and has decided that
they are acceptable for use in conj unction with this standard.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.

Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
